Fruit Lambic 6 º

Overtone Brewing Co

Cholly is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that showcases a luxurious blend of fresh blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries against a robust base. The kettle-souring process provides a clean, lactic tartness that cuts through the initial berry sweetness, creating a profile reminiscent of a jammy summer compote. The raspberries offer a bright, citrus-like lift, while the blackberries and blueberries contribute a deeper, earthy fruit complexity. This balance of tart fermented fruit and residual sweetness results in a refreshing, effervescent experience that highlights the brewery’s focus on intense fruit saturation and approachable acidity, balancing the bold berry character with a smooth, sweet finish.

Appearance. Deep, opaque magenta to purplish-red hue derived from the heavy fruit addition; topped with a dense, pink-tinted head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by jammy raspberry and tart blackberry; subtle earthy blueberry notes follow. A clean, sharp lactic acidity is present, with minimal grainy malt and no perceptible hop character.

Taste. A vivid burst of mixed berry flavors leads, with the raspberry providing a tangy, citrusy edge. The blackberry and blueberry add a darker, rounded sweetness that balances the moderate lactic sourness. Finishes with a clean, lingering fruit tartness and a hint of residual sugar from the sweet base; hop bitterness is negligible.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a lively, high carbonation that creates a fizzy, refreshing texture. Very low astringency despite the large fruit volume, with a smooth, well-integrated alcohol presence and no harshness.
